<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1331220, member: 66"]Gold coins from a lot of countries can probably be found to have traces of Mercury in them. Mercury was used for centuries in the mining of gold. Powdered ore would be sluiced over Mercury and the liquid metal would dissolve the gold out of the slurry forming an amalgam. The amalgam would later be refined to recover the gold, but with as sensitive as out detection equipment is today you can probably still detect the Mercury.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
